Put the Fun Back in Fitness

Posted: November 21st, 2009 under Uncategorized.

Remember when you were a kid? If you were like me, you were probably always outside running around with your friends. We were always playing stupid games that required us to run and jump. I think we didn’t realize how healthy that was. Perhaps if we probably did, we’d have tried to avoid it more. maybe not. I think the largest reason most of us don’t exercise today is often because somewhere along the lines it changed from being something fun we just naturally did, to some structured beat down program to get or stay in shape.

I think the smartest thing to do to put the fun into an exercise plan is to find the kid in you again. Stop structuring every minute of your program to fit perfectly into some fat reduction plan you are on. Plan out fun activities that will make you accidentally consume fat while you’re enjoying time with your pals and family.

Instead of going to the gym and running on the treadmill for exactly half an hour and not a second more, grab your folks and some bikes and find a cool park to ride thru. Get the children outside and start up a neighborhood football game. Get a football ball and challenge your friends to a good game of football. The loser has to cook dinner. Take a jog in a beautiful park and luxuriate in the nature around you. Load up the children and go to a lake. If you have a boat, take up water skiing. If not, play Frisbee or volleyball on the beach. You do not have to be good at these games, just get out and have a good time while your body uses calories.

Another good idea is to get on a sports team in the neighborhood. If you like tennis, join a league. This is a superb way to burn off stress, have fun and burn energy without having to think about it. There are lots of competitive sports you might become involved in if that’s’s fun for you. If not, take up a sport anyhow and just play with chums and family for fun. Actually, do some research and find some things you adore to do. It’s a great way to remain healthy and to teach your folks to live a healthy approach to life too.
